The police station.Even though Jeremy’s behavior obstructed the police officers’ duty, the circumstances were not considered that bad, so he managed to quickly bail himself out.However, he stood in front of the police station door, his steps slowed, and he was unable to take another step.Madeline was still inside. There was a high chance that she would be charged with bigamy.“Linnie.”Jeremy clenched his fingers, and a firm conviction emerged deep within his eyes.“I’ll make sure you’ll reach home safely. Wait for me.”He gave his promise. He also believed that Madeline could sense his feelings.A few moments after Jeremy had left, a luxurious car gradually stopped in front of the main entrance.Camille grabbed her bag and gracefully got out of the car.Madeline just finished with her statement and was following the officer out of the interrogation room. As she reached the door, to her surprise, she saw Camille walking toward her.The police officer leading Camille was v
She conversed with the police officer who brought her in for a moment. Then, she turned around, smiling gently at Madeline. “I’ve bailed you out. You can leave this place for now, but you can’t leave the St. Piaf borders for the time being.”Madeline did not forget that, as she was informed earlier, she could not bail out, yet she was now released from custody.After coming out of the police station, Madeline was still hardly convinced that this was real.Aside from words of gratitude, she did not know what else to say.After accepting Madeline’s gratitude, Camille handed over her phone to Madeline. “You can call your husband and ask him to pick you up. However, the two of you should stay in St. Piaf for the time being.”Madeline took over the phone, thanked Camille, and gave her agreement.Jeremy was planning to head back to where he stayed. He certainly did not expect to receive a call from Madeline.Ten minutes later, he rushed back to the police station entrance and saw Made
When Camille saw the displeasure on Carter’s face, she sat down on the sofa calmly.“Did you really trick Eveline into signing a marriage certificate with you? From the very beginning, didn’t she put up this pretense with you only to help you shake off Ada?”“When you were signing the marriage certificate during the engagement, she only obliged and signed the certificate because you said it was simply a formality, isn’t that right?”Faced with these questions from Camille, Carter could not offer any rebuttal. His silence thus gave Camille the most direct answer.Camille, however, was a bit vexed. “Carter, you’ve always been straightforward and upright when you act, and you disdained petty maneuvers like this, but this time…”“That’s because at times, to complete a goal and task, certain skills are required.” “I, however, don’t think this is a skill. This is manipulation and entrapment. This might even be destruction. You will ruin Eveline,” Camille rationally corrected him.“
This sentence came from Madeline’s mouth so naturally, but it pierced into Jeremy’s heart.He could not help but remember his inappropriate behavior.She always viewed him as the man she loved the most and her husband. However, he refused to admit her status.When he thought about this, Jeremy did not know if it was a figment of his imagination but suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Then, a familiar dull pain washed over him. It even began getting harder for him to breathe.Madeline immediately noticed the changes in Jeremy’s expression. She grabbed his arm tightly, asking, “Jeremy, what’s wrong?”Jeremy did not want Madeline to worry. He wanted to hide the fact that he was feeling extremely unwell, but his labored breathing caused him not to have the energy to speak.Looking at Jeremy’s complexion that was getting worse, Madeline started to panic. “What’s wrong, Jeremy? What’s going on? Tell me where the discomfort is coming from.”Madeline asked incoherently. Her eye
Jeremy used all of the energy he had to trap Madeline into a tight hug.Madeline was stunned. She could feel Jeremy’s arms shaking when they were around her. His hands were also shaking and his entire body as well.“Jeremy…”Madeline’s heart started to ache.She did not know if he was shaking because he was in too much pain or whether he was too worried about her.“Jeremy, I have to go. No one and nothing here can help you aside from that anti-toxoid test reagent, so I have to go…”“There’s someone else who can help me…”Jeremy said this sentence weakly.Madeline was stunned when she heard this. “Who?”“Shirley Brown.”That stunning face immediately appeared in Madeline’s brain.“Shirley?” she asked in disbelief.“Yes, her.” Jeremy tightened his arms around her. “Not long ago after I finished buying you the new clothes, I saw her standing outside the door of our room.”“Why is she in St. Piaf? How does she know where we are?” Madeline widened her alluring eyes in surprise.
Madeline did not want to beat around the bush anymore. However, she did not want Jeremy to know that the person standing at the door was Carter.She took a step toward Carter and closed the door.“What’s your purpose in doing this?”“Today at 7 p.m., I’ll be waiting in the study of Gray Manor. I’ll tell you what my purpose is then.” Carter gave her this answer and opened his palm once again. He picked up the anti-toxoid test reagent in his hand and shook it in front of Madeline.“I think you don’t have a reason to reject, right? Once that poison flares up again, it’ll be 100 times worse than what you imagine.”Carter’s words undoubtedly exposed the fact that he knew about Jeremy’s situation well.Madeline had no choice and said, “Okay, tonight at 7 p.m. I’ll go meet you.”“I hope you can avoid Jeremy as best as you can. Don’t let him follow you again. This will be the best for you and him.” Carter seemed to be reminding her out of goodwill.Madeline nodded mechanically and agre
Carter looked at the person who came in and got up slowly.“Can I help you?” he asked courteously, being very respectful toward Camille.“I’m here to tell you that you can stop waiting now. Eveline won’t come,” Camille opened her mouth and told him with an insipid tone.Camille’s answer caused Carter’s expression to freeze for a second. After a moment, he curled the corners of his lips. “You came all the way here to help her tell me this? I got it.”Carter smiled and finished saying that. Then, he sat back down on his seat.Of course, Camille could see Carter’s displeasure. She slowly walked to the desk and said earnestly.“Carter, you’ve been exceptional ever since you were a child. Don’t care too much about what your father thinks and be too stern with yourself to chase after those unattainable things. This will only make you lose yourself in the end.”After Carter heard what Camille said, he kept a small smile on his face. However, there was even more ambition and desire in h
“Jeremy, what’s wrong? What are you looking at?”When Jeremy heard Madeline’s curious voice, Jeremy seemed to come back to his senses suddenly.His long and thin fingers slid across the screen as though he did not want Madeline to see something. He immediately locked his phone and placed it into his pocket. He got up and walked toward Madeline with a gentle smile. Then, he grabbed her shoulder softly.“Linnie, what did Mrs. Gray say to you?”When he mentioned this, Madeline smiled. Her sweet dimples blossomed next to her lips as well.“Guess.” She decided to keep him on tenterhooks.Jeremy looked at Madeline’s smile without blinking. He unconsciously lifted his hand to stroke her cheek. His charming and deep narrow eyes were filled with heartbreak.“It’s been a while since I saw you smile like this.” He sighed with sorrow. That statement carried a lot of complicated emotions.Madeline immediately understood how Jeremy was feeling right now. She placed her palm over the back of
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
